For the first time ever, Grammy Award Winner Eminem will be featured in a nationally televised, full-length concert performance. The leading pay-per-view network, iN Demand, will be broadcasting this exclusive presentation at 9 p.m. on Saturday, marking the network?s first major concert event of the year.

The concert is expected to feature his hits “Stan,” “The Real Slim Shady,” and “The Way I Am,” along with other standout tracks from both of his award winning albums. This is a rare opportunity for fans to catch Eminem for more than an hour of lyrical head spins. Joining him in this explosive concert is rap group D-12, whom Eminem recently signed to his label, Shady Records.

Controversial, innovative, offensive or over-rated, however you want to label him, Eminem has become a notable figure in the music industry. His strong lyrical content has been analyzed from beginning to end, causing a stir with gay organizations, other music artists and even his mother.

Despite the negative hype surrounding him, Eminem?s fans have continued to support his work, which has brought him four nominations for this year?s Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. As a rap artist, Eminem has sold nearly 10 million albums worldwide and has won several top awards, including two Grammies for The Slim Shady LP and two MTV Music Video Awards. With his sophomore album, The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem held the number one postion for eight weeks on the Billboard 200, making him one of today?s leading voices in hip-hop.

Distributed by iN Demand, the suggested retail price for the pay-per-view special is $19.95, but can differ amongst cable networks, so it is advisable to check your local listings. The concert is rated TV-MA (for mature audiences) and is approximately 90 minutes in length.

There will be more exclusive musical specials presented by iN Demand throughout the year. Some of the artists that have already been featured are Prince, Kiss, Moby, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. For more information about iN Demand, visit www.indemand.com.
